Dark and Lovely

Tempted, tried, and sometimes lost,Yet you’ve gathered your bits and pieces and marched to Calvary again,Faced delays and setbacks, generously served,Yet you’ve kept your head up and want to try something again,Lost a relationship and friendship,Yet you’ve started panel-beating yourself into shape before you get to the next,Beaten and roughed up at the fort,Yet still […]

Is Time Wasting a Sin?

To waste time is to spend time doing an activity other than the one allotted. The activity may be right, healthy, and acceptable to society, but because it is not done in its time, it amounts to time-wasting. On the positive side, reading a good book when the time should find you in bed is time-wasting. Adding twenty minutes to your lunch break is time-wasting. Watching a movie, when you are supposed to be on the pitch playing some sport, is time-wasting. Attending a Bible study, when you are supposed to be in the choir or vice versa, is time-wasting. Snoozing the alarm, and earning five more minutes on the bed is a serious time-wasting that many of us are guilty of.
